Revamped Redcliffe Wall of Fame revealed

Redcliffe has celebrated the people and groups who have contributed to its history and ongoing evolution, inducting more than 130 local heroes, celebrities and quiet achievers into the revamped Redcliffe Wall of Fame.

See the complete list at the end of this story.

The event, on September 13, was in the lead-up to the bicentenary of European settlement of the Peninsula – the first in Queensland – the following day. September 14, 1824, was the date Lt Henry Miller brought the brig Amity to the place known for its red cliffs, to establish a penal colony with a small group of soldiers, their families and convicts.

Peninsula local Richard Lancaster, who first established the Wall of Fame in partnership with Jetty Arcade manager Dennis Austen in 2013, has teamed up with local historian Duane Hart to revamp it and add to the honour roll.

The Redcliffe Wall of Fame is in Jetty Arcade, off Redcliffe Pde.

It includes historic figures including Matthew Flinders, Lt Henry Miller and John Oxley, traditional owners, and past and present well-known people from business, entertainment, sports, arts, and the community.

Wall of Famer Rupert McCall shared fond memories of growing up on the Peninsula, and read the introduction from The Boy on the Bridge Returns before a stirring recital of Green and Gold Malaria at the official opening.

Special guests also included the fourth Bee Gee, Colin Petersen, and Bill Goode, the man who discovered the super group, as well as a descendent from Lt Miller.

History Redcliffe past president Paul Woodcock presented certificates to Wall of Famers or their representatives.
